Steps:
- In food processor, blend cheddar, cream cheese, beer, worcestershire, chili powder, mustard, red pepper, and garlic.
- Blend for 5 minutes, or until creamy.
- Add in parsley, blend 1 more minute.
- Pour into bowl, cover, and chill in refrigerator.
- Cheese will firm.
Tips:
- Use a good quality beer. The flavor of the beer will come through in the cheese, so choose one that you enjoy drinking.
- Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much cheese to the pan at once, it will not melt evenly and will become clumpy.
- Stir constantly. This will help to prevent the cheese from burning and will also help to incorporate the beer and other ingredients evenly.
- Serve immediately. Beer cheese is best served warm and fresh out of the pan.
Conclusion:
Beer cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served with pretzels, crackers, vegetables, or even used as a dip for chicken or fish. With its rich and cheesy flavor, beer cheese is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
